About Your New Guitar Teacher
I am a qualified teacher, having achieved an HNC in Music Performance, and have reached a high aptitude on bass, piano & guitar. I am well known in the Aberdeen jazz scene, having maintained a monthly residency at The Sanddollar Cafe for 7 years, played at The Blue Lamp and The Aberdeen Jazz Festival. Also Edinburgh, Callander & Langtoun Jazz Festivals
The pinnacle of my career has been the recording of "Mosaic", the debut album which was successfully funded by The Prince's Trust.
I like to create a lesson plan tailored to the student, focused on their individual goals and help them enjoy learning their favourite music while progressing rapidly on the guitar.
Teaching is inspiring to me in that all that I discover musically can be passed on and made more accessible to another generation. Whilst at college I taught at Sound Ideas and later began piano teaching privately. Throughout this time I have been very active in the music scene, and so in lessons, there is an emphasis on practicality. This includes music theory.
I will show the pupil how it is relevant to the musical experiences they look for.
I understand it can be a little daunting to begin guitar lessons but I can assure you there is nothing to worry about. We will start by discussing your goals and favourite guitarists before beginning to learn your favourite songs. You have absolutely nothing to lose so get in contact now to find out more about the lessons!
